ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Redundant on drums

92 bars of 4/4 at 116 BPM, about 3:10 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 12-14 and 17-18, and 5 more places -- 21.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Is Redundant hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
